Away

I remember the way, Driving home late, Speeding all the way. Alone in the rain. I was rehearsing a part From down at the bar. My mouth smelled like a drink We were laughing, I think, I've been away. I've been away. I've been away. Do you pick up the phone, Do you check your mail, Do you answer your door even if it's late? I don't know who to call, I don't know who to write, And I think I forgot What your face looks like. I've been away. I've been away. I've been away. Do you think that I've changed? I swear I never tried. Memory is a terrible thing. When you use it right. I was rehearsing a part From down at the bar. My mouth smelled like a drink. We were laughing, I think, I've been away. I've been away. I've been away. --- Away - Kathleen Edwards
